  • Crossover Queries: Dwelling with Negatives, Embodying Philosophy's Others

    Edith WyschogrodBOOKCrossover Queries2022

    Exploring the risks, ambiguities, and unstable conceptual worlds of contemporary thought, Crossover Queries brings together the wide-ranging writings, across twenty years, of one of our most important philosophers. Ranging from twentieth-century European philosophy-the thought of Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Levinas, Janicaud, and others-to novels and artworks, music and dance, from traditional Jewish thought to Jain and Buddhist metaphysics, Wy…

  • The Poetry of Michelangelo: An Annotated Translation

    Edith WyschogrodBOOKPoetry of Michelangelo2017

    During his long career, Michelangelo produced not only the important works of painting, sculpture, and architecture for which he is justly famous but also well over three hundred sonnets, madrigals, and other poems. The poems, unlike Michelangelo’s better-known works of art, are not the product of a highly accomplished hand, but they are invaluable for what they reveal of the artist’s innermost feelings about such universal themes as love, death,…

  • The Howl of Oedipus, the Cry of Heloise: From Asceticism to Postmodern Ethics

    Edith WyschogrodCHAPTERAsceticism2002

    Asceticism is a complex of widely varying practices, beliefs and motives that have appeared in particular historical and cultural contexts. It is, to use the language of art criticism, site-specific. If the historical and phenomenological integrity of asceticism's many manifestations is to be preserved, it is beyond dispute that ascetic phenomena must be allowed to emerge in discrete material and psycho-social meaning constellations.

  • Pythagorean Bodies and the Body of Altruism

    Edith WyschogrodCHAPTERAltruism & altruistic love2002

    Altruism may be seen as endorsing actions that exceed the limits of what is taken to be one's duty, whether by the control of contrary inclinations and interests or without effort. As a starting point for understanding the Pythagorean body, it may be useful to consider a standard formulation of altruism and egoism as seen by evolutionary biology in terms of their potential for the enhancement of fitness and their capacity for replication. The int…

  • Empathy and Sympathy as Tactile Encounter

    Edith WyschogrodARTICLEJournal of Medicine and Philosophy1981

    Empathy and sympathy are feeling-acts which bring the self into direct encounter with other persons. In empathy a self grasps the affective act of another self; in sympathy xn persons apprehend a common object while immersed in similar feeling acts. Since touch is the paradigmatic sense for bringing what is felt into proximity with feeling, structural affinities between touch and these feeling acts can be shown. This relationship has been obscure…

  • Sons Without Fathers: A Study in Identity and Culture

    Edith WyschogrodARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…1978

    Low-voltage applications mounted on high-voltage towers may pose a safety problem in the low-voltage network when a flashover occurs over the high-voltage insulators. To study the effects experimentally, a 150 kV system was made available. On a high-voltage tower carrying a cellular phone base station, one phase insulator was shorted to the tower. A current of about 200 A was injected into that phase at a large distance. We measured the current d…
